The North Star, or Polaris, is located approximately 433 light-years away from Earth, in the constellation Ursa Minor. In relation to the Sun, Polaris is positioned far outside our solar system, well beyond the orbit of the furthest planets. While the Sun is at the center of our solar system, Polaris serves as a fixed point in the night sky for navigation, positioned nearly directly above the North Pole.

The North Star does not orbit the sun, nor do any of the stars. The North Star is its own star system several times more massive than the sun.
the north star. it takes 8 minutes for light to get from the sun to the earth. it takes half a billion years for light to get to us from the north star...i think. but i know that the sun is definetly closer.
No. Mercury is one of the planets that orbit the sun. The North Star is Polaris.
The Earth orbits the Sun, at a distance of about 150 million kilometers.
The North Star, or Polaris, is not a part of the Solar System because it is much farther away than the objects within our Solar System. Polaris is actually a distant star located in the constellation Ursa Minor, while our Solar System consists of the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets that orbit around it.
The better question would be: Where is our Sun in relation to the Milky Way? Our Sun is located on one of the Milky Way's spirals, about halfway.

The North Star is around 430 light years from Earth. Earth to Jupiter distance varies as the planets orbits The Sun. At their closest they are 628,743,036 million kilometres apart. At their most distant they are 928,081,020 million kilometres apart.
Our sun is located in the Milky Way. The eight planets revolve around it. The sun is the biggest star in the Milky Way world.
Neither. It is actually a star. Its true name is Polaris, just as the true name of the sun is Sol. It is nicknamed the North Star because it is the only star that appears not to move in the sky, because its position is directly over the North Pole.
Yes, the Sun is a star. It is a yellow dwarf star located at the center of our solar system. Like other stars, it emits light and heat through nuclear fusion reactions in its core.
